A foundational text outlining the core philosophical and practical principles of effective accelerationism (e/acc), a techno-optimist movement that emerged in the early 2020s. The work articulates e/acc's core tenets: embrace of technological progress as inherently good, skepticism of precautionary regulation, faith in market-driven innovation, and rejection of degrowth or techno-pessimism. The notes serve as a manifesto-like statement of the movement's worldview, emphasizing that acceleration of technological and economic systems produces net positive outcomes for humanity.
